They had left Pan Yan Town.
There was still a distance to the Great Mine District.
The members of Di Huo were all anxious, but the equipment and supplies they carried were too heavy, and they couldn't move fast even if they wanted to.
“Is the Great Mine District okay?”
“With such a loud sound, at least half of the dome must have fallen, how could it be okay!”
“Yeah, this tremor is unprecedented!”
“What about the people in the Great Mine District if it's buried?”
“Also, it's the largest underground mine, how will we survive without it?”
“Nata will have a way!”
“Don't deceive yourself, we respect Nata, but you and I both know she doesn't have a good solution to this situation!”
“Then what do you say we do?”
“Of course, we go to rescue people first, people are more important than those ore veins. As for the future – it's not hopeless until the very last step!”
“That's right!”
“Well said!”
The words of encouragement exchanged by the Di Huo members reached Xia Ye's ears, making him somewhat satisfied.
Although Di Huo was a non-official organization established after the Silvermane Iron Guards withdrew from the lower level district, under Natasha's influence, their will was still pretty good!
“There's something!”
“Alert——!”
The leader of Di Huo looked vigilantly at a large group of wanderers blocking the road in the distance, frowning and grumbling angrily:
“At such a critical time, you actually come to rob, it's too shameless!”
“Brothers, no need to hold back this time!”
“Yes!”
The members of Di Huo were also excited.
Usually, out of sympathy for everyone being unfortunate souls in the lower level district, Di Huo would often show mercy to these wanderers. Unexpectedly, they still took advantage of the situation at this time, this time they would definitely —
“Wait!”
A tall wanderer stepped forward:
“We're not here to rob!”
“We're going to help in the Great Mine District!”
“Help?”
The leader of Di Huo frowned at the wanderers, only to find that most of them were carrying various tools, some even carrying supplies like his team.
“You're going to be so selfless?”
“This isn't being selfless —”
A wry smile appeared on the face of the wanderer's leader:
“We just got the news that the dome collapsed in the Great Mine District. In this way, life underground will definitely get harder and harder, maybe other domes will collapse too. If we don't help now, we will definitely be the first to be abandoned, so we are doing this for ourselves!”
“......”
The leader of Di Huo looked complicated, now he believed the wanderers' words. Although the reason wasn't noble, it was true!
“Follow us!”
“Don't make any suspicious moves!”
“Yes!”
The rearguard team expanded by half.
With a common goal.
The Di Huo members and wanderers gradually put aside their prejudice and started talking to each other —
After all, after the passage between the upper level and the lower level district was blocked, everyone had shared the same hardship.
If the Rift hadn't destroyed their homes and made the living conditions worse, maybe they would still be drinking and chatting, bragging and gossiping together!
Xia Ye looked at the two groups gradually merging, and said softly to the shadow behind him:
“Miss Xi Er, come out.”
“You have a keen sense!”
A few quantum butterflies flashed by, Xi Er walked out of the shadow:
“No one has ever been able to detect my presence before!”
“Of course, quantum attributes are also rare attributes in the galaxy, Miss Xi Er, you can master it by self-learning without anyone's guidance, which shows that your talent is very outstanding!”
“...... I don't understand!”
Xi Er frowned:
“Anyway, you're praising me, right?”
“......That's right!”
He almost forgot, although Xi Er knows how to read, she is basically a semi-illiterate. What does he mean by attribute classifications in the galaxy? How could she understand it!
However, Xia Ye was right.
Quantum attributes are indeed rare.
In the galaxy, Imaginary Energy is the most advanced energy known, and both Star Gods and their appointed Envoys can manipulate it freely.
And other Pathfinders use ordinary energy, such as wind, water, fire, electricity, ice, etc.
Of course, there are other rare energies, such as quantum, cursed power, and so on!
Finally, there's a very special one —
Some Pathfinders haven't been blessed by Star Gods, but they also master the use of Imaginary Energy.
This Imaginary Energy is more rudimentary compared to that of the Star Gods and Envoys, it's called —
Subordinate Imaginary!
In terms of energy level, Imaginary Energy is the highest, Subordinate Imaginary comes next, and then quantum!
“Is Bronya not with you?”
Perhaps due to the influence of the Great Universe's Will, without Xia Ye's participation, Bronya and Xi Er still ended up together.
Although they always argue, they always acted together before, if he remembered correctly, they went to collect supplies in Rivet Town, now she's back, where's Bronya?
“That guy went to the collapse site —” Xi Er still put on a tough face: “Humph, she's clearly a young lady from the upper level district, but she goes to dig dirt at the site, she's definitely putting on a show!”
“Can't you be honest?”
Xia Ye looked at her helplessly:
“Tsundere is out of fashion!”
“What's tsundere?”
Xi Er frowned and thought for a long time, then waved her hand:
“Forget it, never mind, I came here this time because Miss San Yue Qi and Nata instructed me to ask you to go quickly, although Bronya didn't say it, but it should be the same meaning!”
“Is the situation serious?”
“Very serious!”
Xi Er's face turned serious:
“I've never seen such a serious mining disaster in my life, you should have been to the Great Mine District, that big hole was directly buried, even the entrance was blocked tightly, Master Svarog and those machines also arrived at the scene, but he said it would take at least three days to dig through!”
“Three days have passed the golden rescue period.”
“Forget it, I'll take you there!”
Xia Ye stretched out his hand, a tendril of the Magic Net extended from his hand, and in Xi Er's surprised gaze, it wrapped around her, then split into thousands of threads, completely enveloping the entire team!
“What is this —”
Xi Er's question wasn't finished yet.
The team of over thirteen hundred people instantly disappeared!
...
The entrance to the Great Mine District.
The road leading to the inside was blocked tightly.
Di Huo, wanderers, and many machines were digging non-stop!
However, because of the massive rocks, excavation work was not going smoothly, the progress was very slow!
In the temporary command post not far away.
Natasha, Bronya, Svarog, San Yue Qi and A-Xing were all gathered here discussing countermeasures!
“Svarog, how's the scan?”
“There are a lot of cavities inside, and there are many survivors' life signs, but my detection system isn't accurate enough to calculate the possibility of another collapse!”
“That's good enough.”
Natasha pressed her temples and asked again:
“How's the excavation progress?”
“It can't be improved, because we are afraid of triggering another collapse, we dare not use explosives or other efficient methods, we can only use machines and tools, so the progress is very slow.”
This time it was Natasha's deputy, Oleg, who answered.
“What about the medicine?”
“It's still enough for now......”
“For now?”
Natasha gave a wry smile.
It's enough for now, the injured are only a small number rescued at the entrance, that's why it's enough for now, but once there are more injured —
“Why hasn't Xia Ye come yet?”
Looking at Natasha's worried expression, San Yue Qi quietly nudged A-Xing's waist.
Although she knew that Xia Ye was testing the people in this world, it wasn't necessary to be so strict, right!
“How do I know......”
A-Xing actually felt a bit sympathetic for the victims, but she also agreed with Xia Ye's idea, so she was a bit conflicted at this moment.
Bronya, who was next to her, heard the whispers of San Yue Qi and A-Xing, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and walked out of the tent!
“Bronya, what are you going to do?”
“I'm going to help!”
Looking at the silvermane Iron Guard's garrison uniform on Bronya, which was originally majestic and exquisite, was now covered with dust, and the black silk gloves on her hands were also torn by sharp stones, Natasha sighed:
“Everyone, let's go help!”
“Yes!”
......
Machines and humans.
Di Huo and wanderers.
The heir of the Great Guardian and the nameless traveler.
People from different races and different camps were working together towards the same goal.
“What is that?”
Golden energy was gathering and expanding in the distance.
“It's Xia Ye!”
Of course, San Yue Qi knew what it was — Node Movement, she even asked Xia Ye to take her for a ride before!
